Class represents a largely unacknowledged "culture coexisting and interacting with others such as ethnic cultures, women's experience, and lesbian/gay culture. This course looks at fiction, poetry and drama about class and class conflict, primarily by writers from working class backgrounds. Examining class and class consciousness, and the interaction of class and race in the U.S., we will explore how literature has been a medium for members of oppressed groups to voice their experiences, world views, and demands, and also for members of more privileged groups to respond to social change.
